christmas past…

years ago, I made mohair bears,-most were sold.  and at christmas time, they gathered under the tree.   so, when I came across some old pictures,  I thought I’d show a few today.

sadie, (yes, they all had names), was the first mohair bear I made. she had a christening gown on with a sweater and lace collar.

here’s a pic of one of the trees—I think 1992. funny, I loved pink then, too:)

olive had a mini quilt that I made for her.

brody, was in my son’s room.

mohair was and is expensive, so, my very first bear, hadley, was sewn from plain old sherpa fleece from jo-anns.  I made her a dress and a baby doll to hold.

it’s hard to believe, but, these 4 bears are all from the same pattern.  you get different looks with the fur color and length, the size of eyes and noses, and how you shape the faces.

I have a few in my attic, collecting dust.  hmm, maybe its time to bring them down…
